Naming Fyzabad
Around 1871, the village of Fyzabad emerged. The village was settled by East Indian workers who had completed their indentureship. The settlement started out as a project of the Canadian Mission to the Indians (CMI), and it was founded by Kenneth Grant, who was in charge of the San Fernando arm of the Mission. The project developed around the successes Reverend Grant had in converting Hindus, and to a lesser extent, Muslims, to the Presbyterian Faith.
